1NrAL1Ds IND Long LIFE.

Care is a prime condition of con-
tinued health, even in persons who are
physically vigorous, but up to middle
life the recuperative force is so strong
and active that carelessness is the rule
hence persons who ought to live four
score years and over die at the age of
sixty or under.
When, however, one is stricken with
disease which naturally ends in
death, this case is imperative. BY care
the patients life may be prolonged
many years, while single act Of care.
lessness may precipitate fatal result.
The consumptive-not neglecting
medical id--may do much towards hold
ing his disease in check; perhaps may
eradicate it. Let him spend large
part of his time in the open air and
sunshine; take gentle exercise daily;
keep the functions of the skin active by
means of friction night and morning,
and the bowels in habitual good order;
and meanwhile guard against taking
cold. To settle back feebly into the
armchair of a sick room ond depend on
the medicines of a physician, even the
best physician in the world, is to has
ten the progress Of the disease.
Most people when informed that
their heart is seriously affected feel as
If there was but a step between them
and death; but the heart is very
strong organ, and even when greatly
INSTRUCTED or weakened can manage,
with the intelligent cooperative OF the
patient, to keep the blood carrying life
through the arteries for many years.
Often it has to force the blood through
shrivelled opening not much larger
than goose-quill; and this it does by
working harder, thus causing its own
enlargement.
But the enlargement may at length
cause dangerous thinning of some
portion of it's walls. Sometimes the
walls of the aorta-the large arterial
trunk into which the heart empties--
lose their elasticity, and swell out into
great thin tumor (aneurism). Some
times the tough fibres OF the heart are
changed to fat. In such cases fatal
termination may long be delayed by
avoiding undue excitement.
So, too, the diabetic patient may fill
out good measure of life provided he
is willing to abstain rigidly from certain
kinds of food.
Everyone knows how fatal Brisht's
disease is, and yet Bright himself,
whose researches respecting it have
given his name to it, said, fifty years
ago, with care, life may sometimes
be prolonged many years, and without
care it is materially shortened. The
experience Of half a century has con-
frmed and emphasized this truth. :

DEALING "BnAcE FARO"

Police Inspector Bonfield's desk at
headquarters might have been mis-
taken for faro layout if the Inspector
himself had not been presiding over it.
There were five dealing boxes ON it,
each one full and ready for use, and
the Inspector was thoughtfully engaged
in pulling cards" from them.
'Look here" said he to reporter,
(which of these two boxes is brace aud
which is straight" He pointed out
two Of the five boxes as he spoke. They
were both very innocent-looking, and
the reporter pronounced them both
Straight" after he had made a vain
search for hidden mechanism.
80, yes, they're straight, was the
comment of the officer, and cynical
smile played around the corners Of his
mouth. "rhey're all right" he lie.
peated, and he pulled card with the
ease OF an expert. "Now, don't this
prove they're all right" and out came
two cards. The Inspector smiled again
as he separated the cards to show that
they had come through the slot. "This
is brace game" he added, "and it is
one Of the most Ingenious have ever
seen. Look, now will pull only enc
card. You try it.
The reporter tried as directed and
only one card moved Off the pile in re-
sponse to his touch.
Now press that upper corner there
to your left, directed the inspector,
and the reporter obeyed again, moving
the cards as he did so. Two cards in.
stead of one came out this time, and
SO nicely did they remain together that
he would not have known il had not
Capt. Bontield separated them by a
quick motion Of his hand An en-
animation of the cards showed they
were all marked, sanded, and stripped.
There was a "put back" board attached
to the box, by means of which the
dealer can return the extra cards he
withdraws, and thus prevent the
ceases" from getting mixed. There
was another box OF the same sort filled
with marked cards also, that was
worked by means of IL lever on the
bottom of it. This box the Captain
took apart for the purpose of getting a
clear idea of it's mechanism, so he can
explain it to Judge Lyon. Both boxes
were captured in Kirk Gums estab-
lishment, which has always been re-
sarded by the talent" as square"
house. Said the Inspector: "The cap
ture of these boxes in Gums place
proves what [ have always claimed,
that there is very little square gam
bling. ] don't believe there was a
house in town that did not have boxes
like these and men who could work
them as occasion required. Chicago

4 NARROW ESCAPE.
BY DOT pUNKyNNE.

Did you ever feel like fool? I'm
talking to men now, not women; for,
of course, womanly woman never
thinks of such things, and foolish
woman never thinks at ALL Well, I've
had that foolish feeling coming on at
intervals for the last six months, until
it's becoming chronic At times / have
an insane sort of q desire to hire some
one to kick me, and I'm sure, if saw
an advertisement of "brains to let" I'd
rent a job lot and have mine renovated.
I'm an upright sort of a man. as men
so, but l believe "men's men, and
they're much of muchness" after all.
/ attend church regularly enough, but
I'm bank cashier, and most of my
Sundays are occupied in studying the
geography Of Canada and the revised
extradition treaty; and I've come to
believe that early piety and all the
churches in Christendom don't go as
far towards keeping man straight as 8
good wife does.
First, let me swear, I'll never again
look into pair OF dark eyes when my
wife is out OF town. 1t all happened
because Frances went to hel
mothers for a month Twas
Sara's second summer, and when
measles and scarlet fever broke ont this
side of the river my wife packed up
her clothes and was off to her mothers
before l could say Jack Robinson.
J. slept at home for night or two
but the house was so lonesome l got
tired. 1t was like funeral, and had
to go around in my stocking feet fol
fear of awakening the costs, so I shut
up the house and went down to the no

Lots of people l knew boarded there
and we had jolly good time. One
day the head waiter, with his usual pom
posity and more than usual flourish
seated two ladies at my table. L re-

mentally composing a letter to my wife
but, looking up, forgot all about
both.

"Six years ago! 1t doesn't seem
possible! But what am ! thinking OF,
Marjorie, my dear; let me introduce to
you my very dear friend, Mr.. Johnstone
Egbert, my niece, Miss Dissane."
We bowed, and Miss Marjorie gave
me fascinating smile and a very
fattering glance from her beautiful
eyes. Miss Dissane continued:
"Six years! 1 cannot get over it.
Don't you remember Annette? Why
don't YOU ask about her?"
Most certainly I do. Is there any
news?"
ooh, yes, indeed! She's married.

DISASTERS to eyesight are evidently
more common than is generally sup
posed, Judging from the statement
that more than 100000 glass eyes are
made annually in Germany and Switzer-
land. An artificial eye seldom lasts
more than five years, the secretion Of
